    On this occasion it didn't matter but breakfast was by time slot from 08.30 which could be too late if we had specific plans for the day.

    Location, parking, room size, facilities - freshly ground coffee was a lovely touch.

    Gardener's Cottage provided us with what we were looking for on this our first visit to the area.

    We found the parking was more limited than we had expected and whilst manoeuvring the car was possible, it required a lot of care, especially if all the other spaces had been taken.

    Our welcome from Liz was most welcoming and informative. The breakfasts beautifully cooked and presented by Ivan were very filling and just right for providing a substantial meal for a day out in the countryside. The choice was excellent.

    Wifi was almost non existent in our room.

    We had Room 2 which was large, with plenty of storage and a nice seating area for having tea/coffee in the room. Plenty of choice for breakfast and freshly cooked to order (a form is left in the room for each person to fill out with preferences and left outside the night before). Elizabeth and Ivan were very welcoming and helpful, especially with local recommendations.

    We had a fabulous welcome from Elizabeth. Really friendly, very amusing host. Exceptional room spotlessly clean. Great location, a short riverside walk to the town of Bakewell. The cook breakfast is really good and has plenty of choice. We had a lovely break. Thank you, Elizabeth, for your warm, friendly welcome.

    Excellent and highly recommended place to stay. The view is beautiful with well cared for wildlife just outside your window and the piteresque sight of the landscape. The rooms were lovely, clean and comfortable with a tray of an assortment of refreshments. The hosts were kind and gave us information about the location and suggestions on activities, ensuring that we were comfortable throughout our stay. We enjoyed our stay enough that we arranged to stay another night.

    Everything is great. Nothing to add.

    Everything was awesome. Elizabeth and David were friendly, outgoing and informative. Breakfast was made to order and delicious. The room was neat, clean and spacious. The walk in shower and water pressure made bathing a pleasure. In all, a great place for a short or long stay. Highly recommend.

    Nothing at all.

    A lovely quiet place an easy walking distance from Bakewell town. There was space to park that was secure and convenient. The food was generous and well prepared. The lady who owns the place was lovely and gave excellent advice for things to do each day we were there. The rooms are very comfortable and more spacious than the photos suggest. Bathrooms were modern, good hot showers and facilities. The whole place was well kept and a great example of a proper English BnB.

    The flooring was very creaky. Mouldy curtains that the owners knew about when we told them about it. And the quality of the breakfast.

    Not the quality of the breakfast we would have expected. The location was good.

    Nothing. Just that the weather wasn’t on our side and we couldn’t enjoy the outdoor garden area, but we plan on returning in the summer time.

    Really beautiful location, amazing views and was only a 10 minute walk from the town. Super lovely room, very clean bathroom and comfortable bed. The breakfast was delightful and hosts were very polite and welcoming

    Large bath towels were not in the bathroom but rectified the next day. Ivan was very apologetic . Bathroom was very warm but bedroom less so. Shower fan seems to be on for a very long time and perhaps setting needs adjusting? The views from the breakfast room were spoiled by brightly coloured barriers to differentiate private outside areas.

    Very warm welcome from Ivan so we didn't need to use the key safe . We had prearranged a very early arrival to enable us to park at the property and then to take the bus to Chatsworth House but we hadn't expected our room to be ready (11:30) but it was. Excellent service.
